“…As early as 1810, Irish journalist Peter Finnerty accused Castlereagh of corruption and torture during his time in Ireland, and this theme was continually used to condemn Castlereagh over the next 11 years. 66 In a June 1816 issue of The Examiner, William Hazlitt referred to Castlereagh as a 'good-natured man', which he defined as someone who is 'utterly unfit for any situation or office in life that requires integrity, fortitude, or generosity…' and that 'There is no villainy to which he will not lend a helping hand with great coolness and cordiality, for he sees only the pleasant and profitable side of things'. In a passage that is directly aimed at Castlereagh's history in Ireland, Hazlitt writes, 'He will betray his country to please a Minister, and sign the death-warrant of thousands of wretches, rather than forfeit the congenial smile, the well-known squeeze of the hand'.…”

‘It Must End, or I Must End’: Castlereagh, Mental Health and Politics in Regency Britain

Viscount Castlereagh (1769–1822), Britain's polarising foreign secretary and leader of the house of commons from 1812–22, has been studied through the lens of diplomacy and politics, but never through the lens of mental health. As 2022 marked the 200th anniversary of Castlereagh's suicide, mental health is still the missing link in our understanding of both Castlereagh as a public and private figure and the politics of his era. This article examines Castlereagh's career through the lens of modern research on mental health, applying an interdisciplinary approach that combines history, psychology, sociology, political studies and gender studies. The article argues that applying a mental health lens helps us better understand the pressures on Castlereagh as a politician, the stresses and strains of Regency‐era politics, and how those stresses resulted in risks to mental health. Perhaps most importantly, the article concludes that Castlereagh continues to be relevant today because his story illustrates: first, the need to understand the complexity of mental health risks in politics; and second, the types of persistent mental health risks that are still relevant for today's politicians and civil servants.

ABSTRACT. In 16 patients with hypertension, BP could not be controlled satisfactorily by treatment with propranolol alone (mean dosage 325 mg/day). Plasma volume (PV) (T‐1824) and extracellular fluid volume (ECV) (82Br‐distribution space) were determined in these patients before and after the addition of hydralazine for three months (mean dosage 135 mg/day). After the addition of hydralazine, PV and ECV increased significantly, by 9% and 3%, respectively. Systolic and diastolic BPs decreased, by 15% and 13%. The mechanisms inducing fluid retention during treatment with hydralazine and the clinical significance of the problem are discussed. It is concluded that the addition of a diuretic to propranolol‐hydralazine treatment is often well indicated.

The Use of Non-Castrate Parabiotic Rats for the Evaluation of Plasma Gonadotrophins

The gonads and accessory sex organs of hypophysectomized male or female rats were used to evaluate the gonadotrophin content of the plasma from a non-castrate parabiotic partner. Ovarian follicular development and the human chorionic gonadotrophin augmentation reaction indicated the presence of FSH in the plasma of immature males. LH was apparent by androgen production from testes in hypophysectomized male partners.The amount of LH was reduced by 2 mg progesterone or 20 \ g=m\ g testosterone propionate (TP) and increased by administration of hypothalamic extract daily to the intact male. Bilateral cryptorchidism also quickly elevated the plasma LH level. FSH output, as measured by follicular development in females, was not significantly affected by 50 \g=m\g TP or 2 \g=m\g oestradiol daily for 10 days. Females had little gonadotrophin in their plasma since hypophysectomized female partners showed only slight ovarian and no uterine stimulation. The increased gonadotrophins associated with unilateral compensatory hypertrophy, however, was quickly manifested in follicular hypertrophy and abundant oestrogen production in the hypophysectomized partner.The difficulties involved in the assay of hypophyseal gonadotrophins in plasma are generally recognized as a major impediment to a more complete under¬ standing of pituitary physiology. While luteinizing hormone (LH) (Parlow 1964) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) (Gans 1959) can be assayed in
